Chapter 154: Lu Luo After the Curse Was Removed
It was an ordinary day.
A tall woman appeared in Old Wu’s office.
Her eyebrows were long, and her facial features were exquisite. She also had some makeup on.
She was wearing a small black suit with a tight white cropped top and black slim-fit pants.
Old Wu circled her and clicked his tongue in wonder.
The woman said helplessly, “Uncle, stop looking.”
Old Wu chuckled and said, “It wasn’t easy for me to accumulate enough battle merits to exchange for holy water and finally remove the curse on you. I’m just too happy.”
With that said, he said, “What level have you recovered to?”
The woman said, “Third level Seventh Realm.”
Old Wu smiled and nodded. “Very good, very good!”
The more he looked, the happier he was.
The woman said solemnly, “Uncle, I heard that the headquarters is secretly recruiting martial artists with disguise skills? My face has never appeared in public before. I can respond to the headquarters’ recruitment.”
Old Wu was stunned. “How did you know?”
The woman pointed at the document on his desk. “It’s not like you bothered to hide it.”
Old Wu :”…”
He sighed and said, “The mission is very dangerous. I don’t want you to go.”
The woman’s eyes burned. “Where is this mission being carried out? Is it a hidden mission in High Heaven Plains?”
Old Wu was about to speak.
The woman interrupted him. “Don’t randomly say a place to fool me. You know that I can tell the truth from the lie.”
Old Wu sighed. “You’re right. It’s Reed Country.”
The woman stood up immediately. “Add my name.”
“Are you really going?”
“My curse is caused by Qing Kongxing. I want to kill her.”
Old Wu was very conflicted. “Your father is dead, and your mother is dead. There’s only you and me in our family. You…”
“It’s precisely because of this that I have to go!” The woman’s eyes were incomparably firm.
Old Wu sighed. “Go out first. Let me think about it.”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll go to Colony Two. They’ll definitely agree.” With that said, the woman put on her helmet and soft armor and walked out of the office.
Old Wu took out a personal file from his drawer.
The profile picture of this person was that of a 13 or 14-year-old girl. However, her gaze was cold, indicating her maturity that was very inconsistent with her age.
The name of the person in this personal file was Lu Luo.
In the market area.
Lin Xuan was selling his new potion.
Life Potion and Lightning Potion were standard formulas. As long as one had the medicinal skill, they could try to make them.
However, as long as one had a medicinal skill above the purple grade, they could choose their own materials to make potions.
In this way, all kinds of strange potions would be born.
Lin Xuan was selling such a potion.
He did not rely on luck to make these potions.
He relied on his strength!
After all, he had the synthesis list of the synthesis table!
This included the synthesis formulas for various novel potions! Moreover, they were extremely simple.
For example, the Jump Potion.
Many potion makers used frog legs to make jump potions, causing the effects of their potions to be inferior to the ones Lin Xuan made with bull frog legs.
Another example was the Ferocious Poison Potion. It required various materials that contained ferocious poison to make.
Most potion makers chose the Poison Mosquito Poison Bag that was easy to obtain on the Little Spirit Mountain. However, Lin Xuan used the effects of the Yellow Stone Ash and the Poison Mosquito Poison Bag to create an even more ferocious poison.
The Ferocious Poison Potion made in this way was naturally stronger than the one made by ordinary potion makers.
Since he had the Art of Throwing, Lin Xuan naturally had to think of a way to expand this skill and use it.
Knowing that Lin Xuan was selling new potions, many martial artists also gathered over.
Some were here to watch the commotion, and some were here to support.
Feng Zhuang knew what he needed to do and bought a lot of Blood Fury Potions.
The effect of the Blood Fury Potion was to consume health points to increase one’s attack power. It was a way of exchanging injuries.
After Feng Zhuang was the first to come up to support, the martial artists behind him also immediately rushed up to buy.
Lin Xuan immediately received a large amount of essence.
At this moment, a figure enveloped in soft armor walked over.
The other party was very surprised to see Lin Xuan.
“You’re actually still alive?!” A familiar woman’s voice sounded from the armor.
Lin Xuan was stunned.
The voice came from a stranger but still sounded quite familiar.
However, he could not remember immediately.
He simply used a High-Level Observer skill.
In any case, as long as the other party was not an Eighth Realm martial artist, he could see 100% of the information.
Looking at the information, he was shocked.
The information displayed actually indicated that this person was Lu Luo!
Wasn’t Lu Luo a 1.5-meter-tall little girl?
How could she be this 1.7-meter-tall figure in front of him?
“Let’s talk somewhere else.”
Lin Xuan closed the stall and brought Lu Luo to the canteen of Colony Three.
It was not time for dinner, but the chefs had already prepared many hot dishes.
Lin Xuan casually bought a few and placed them on the long table.
The two of them picked up their chopsticks in unison.
Lu Luo revealed her mouth as she ate, just like Shield Ghost.
Lu Luo ate a few mouthfuls and smiled. “I’m very surprised that you actually found out who I was.”
Lin Xuan also chuckled. “It’s only because I have a high-level Observer skill.”
Lu Luo nodded.
“It looks like your level is increasing very quickly. Moreover, your profession is not bad,” Lin Xuan asked.
He observed that Lu Luo’s profession was a purple “Shadow Reaper”. She was very good at charging and assassination.
Lu Luo nodded. “You should have heard the rumors about me in the Germinal Organization. I was indeed cursed. Now that the curse has been removed, my strength has also recovered.”
Lin Xuan sighed.
He did not expect there to be such a curse.
Was it caused by a skill? Equipment? Or a special item?
Lin Xuan did not know.
No one knew how many special treasures were hidden in the large mystic realms controlled by the large organizations.
“I’m also very curious. How did you also become a Seventh Realm martial artist? You even looked like a fish in water in Colony Three of the Little Spirit Mountain,” Lu Luo said curiously.
She only knew that Lin Xuan was good friends with Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion.
After Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion left White Crane Town for Dragon Sea City, Lin Xuan had mysteriously disappeared. She thought that Lin Xuan had been attacked by a wandering demon and was dead.
Lin Xuan had long prepared an excuse for this and simply told it to her.
“I see. Looks like Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion are really good to you. They even give you anything that’s suitable for you.” Lu Luo looked at him enviously.
“Wait… Could your relationship be…” Something inappropriate suddenly flashed in Lu Luo’s mind, and her face turned red.
Lin Xuan: “…It’s not what you think.”
Lu Luo bit her lip. “Anyway, it pleases me to think that you guys are so nice to each other.”
Lin Xuan :”…”
Lu Luo took a bite of the fried pork chop and casually said, “By the way, you’re proficient in forging. Can you help me forge something?”
“What?”
“I previously obtained a dark gold blueprint, but I found many craftsmen who did not dare to guarantee a 100% success rate. They even said that even if they forged it, there was a high chance that it would not be of dark gold grade. Your forging skill is golden, so you should be able to give it a try, right?”
“Show it to me first.”
Lu Luo immediately took out an equipment blueprint from the storage compartment and handed it over.
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over and was slightly surprised.
This equipment was a mask. It was very special and had almost no defense, but it had extremely powerful Disguise and Concealment!
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over the materials again. Other than the two that were more difficult to get, he had everything else.
“I can’t guarantee it either. It’s about an 80% chance. If you’re still fine with it, I can forge it for you.” Lin Xuan raised a finger.
Lu Luo was very surprised. “Those craftsmen all said that the probability was at most 20 to 30, but you directly said that it was 80%? Then I think it’s better for me to believe you.”
Lin Xuan smiled and said, “Logically speaking, the forging cost of a dark gold equipment is very high. It requires at least 8 million essence. Can you afford it?”
Lu Luo took out a large pile of materials and handed it over. “I’ve already gathered a lot of materials. Let me know how much the forging cost can be reduced.”
Lin Xuan estimated. “In that case, I still need 6.2 million essence.”
Lu Luo looked embarrassed.
Lin Xuan scratched his head. “How much do you have in your savings?”
Lu Luo smiled awkwardly. “If you take away a number, I might be able to take it out.”
Lin Xuan nodded. “Alright, 6 million then.”
“No… I mean… 620,000.”
Lin Xuan: “…Then you can write me an IOU.”
Lu Luo coughed lightly. “With our relationship, do we still need an IOU?”
Lin Xuan said, “Even if you were a god, you would still have to write me an IOU!”
After signing the IOU, Lin Xuan left with the equipment blueprint.
“Help me gather these materials. If you can bring a few more, I can further reduce the cost for you.”
Before leaving, he also told Lu Luo what he needed.
These were all the items he needed for the synthesis list. They were very difficult to find on the Little Spirit Mountain.
Lu Luo watched him leave.
“This guy is quite good. Although he signed an IOU, he didn’t give me a time limit.” Her heart warmed.
Lin Xuan returned to his room.
For Lin Xuan, getting an IOU from Lu Luo was not a big problem.
However, for the other forgers, it was absolutely necessary for them to get the forging cost.
This was because they had to spend time and energy to forge.
However, this was not the case for Lin Xuan.
He would leave the forging to the forging table. It had nothing to do with him.
The only thing he needed was forging materials.
Therefore, the forging fees needed by other forgers were actually an additional benefit for Lin Xuan.
Moreover, this benefit was quite large.
“Speaking of which, the forging table has never forged a dark gold equipment. I wonder if it will work?”
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over the three forging tables and simply chose one. He took out his essence and upgraded it.
The forging table was different from the medicinal table.
The medicinal table worked every day, so Lin Xuan had already upgraded the levels of the three medicinal tables to level 5.
However, these three forging tables were still at level 3.
Lin Xuan simply increased them to level 5 in one go.
To advance from level 5 to level 6, he needed 100,000 essence.
Level 6 Forging Table: -30% material consumption.
To advance from level 6 to level 7, one needed 1 million essence.
Level 7 Forging Table: Can be used to forge dark gold blueprints. Materials consumption -35%.
Because only level 7 forging tables could forge dark gold blueprints, and because he would definitely obtain more dark gold blueprints in the future, Lin Xuan decided to upgrade one of the forging tables to level 7.
“Let’s start forging!”
Lin Xuan waved his hand and the forging table began to forge.
All kinds of purple and golden materials fell onto the forging table.
Steel fell, flames burned, and water vapor boiled.
A strange mask gradually formed.
